Nope not a thing. Hard to improve on it for a daily driver tow beast. Just got back from hauling horses all weekend in the 90's without breaking a sweat. I will say NY is starting to take its toll on the sheet metal though.

That thing is just straight bad azz! I can't remember, but do you have compounds? I was just telling my best friend that that is my dream build.

Most people north of the mid-Hudson valley consider themselves upstate. Essentially everything, but the city and Long Island lol

Ken, was wondering if you had any new updates on this? Just talked to a buddy of mine and he said his cousins uncle has a bunch of busses on his property (umongst other cool old junk). We are going to go out there this winter with a trailer, some tools and a torch. I'm hoping we can find a couple/few dt360's. I can't remember, but did you look into a serpentine setup? Just wondering what kind of coin it would take to switch over.

I picked up a dt466 balancer but decided to go v belt. It really wasn't going to be that expensive to go ether way if you know a Machinist to make a spacer for the dt466 dampener. But for 60$ a company converted my powerstroke ac compressor to v belt.

I know. I'm hoping I do get lucky. Some spare forged rod 7.3's would be cool too.

Ken, how's that cam working out for you?

Also, does anyone have any leads on where you can get better valve springs and pushrods for these motors?

Also need an oil cooler rebuild kit, seem to be extinct tho.

I will start my own build thread later on, but I've got a motor and am just trying to rebuild it before anything else happens.

Cam sounds and runs good kids and work have pushed the project to back burner. I need to get the ppump on it and injectors to see what it will do.
